00:00I think that the biggest challenge was just trying to figure out what the tone was, you know, because there's
00:08a lot of really serious moments in the movie, but it's also a thrill ride.
00:12And so you kind of need to know when to pull back. You need to know when to be a
00:17little bit bolder.
00:18And that's where Michael Showalter, our director, was just the best partner, because we would do the scenes.
00:23And then every once in a while, he would just have a crazy idea and just have you make a
00:27choice that you cannot, you could not believe, you couldn't even imagine it working out.
00:33And, like, I remember there's this one where, you know, Verity's doing something awful.
00:37She's ignoring her children's cries so she can get more sleep.
00:41And I was, and Michael just came to me. He's like, okay, we're just going to do it one more
00:44time.
00:45Can you just get into bed, like, and be the happiest person who's ever gotten into bed?
00:48And I was like, okay. And I just, for some reason, thought, like, what if I, like, waltz my way
00:53into bed?
00:53Like, it's so weird. And we, and he yelled cut, and we both burst out laughing, and we're like, well,
00:58that'll never be in the movie.
01:00And we were wrong. It's in the movie. And it's just that next level, like, creepy and wrong.
01:05So I think just, like, it wasn't a challenge to trust Michael, but just, like, allowing yourself the freedom to
01:10play.
01:14Everybody was here to play.
01:15Yeah.
01:16Like, it wasn't, it, I didn't feel like there was an ego on set.
01:21You know?
01:21And it feels like, you don't always get that with, with people when you're working in this sort of intimate
01:26way.
01:27And I just felt like, everybody was there to kind of do the same thing and have fun doing it.
01:32And I think, you know, I think it came from the top.
01:36You guys are producing it. Michael's, Michael's director.
01:38You guys, like, had it all figured out before we got there.
01:40Great crew, too. Everybody just had a nice time.
01:42Yeah.
01:43Yeah.
01:46We all have different theories, I think.
01:49Josh, Josh has crazy theories.
01:53I, but I, as me, I'm aware that Loan is a crazy person.
01:58Yeah.
01:59As Verity and myself, I'm aware that Loan's a crazy person.
02:07I think I love characters that are a little bit more complex psychologically. I find it so much fun to
02:14kind of map that out.
02:17And then, but in this instance, because you're going to see at the end this other perspective, I had to
02:24be on Jeremy's side throughout the whole thing.
02:26Um, and I had to come up with reasons why. There were a couple of things in there that I
02:30was like, Michael, does he really have to say this? Does he really? Could he not say something else here?
02:34And, and it has to be that way because it's in the book.
02:36Um, but I, I, yeah, we, you just kind of, for me, I had to incorporate that, but I didn't,
02:45I don't know. I think that it's, what's great about all three of these characters is that they all have
02:50alternate kind of intentions at, at, at different times, uh, to what I guess most audience members would think is
02:58the right way to be, which is, which is good. And you can all go debate about who's right at
03:03the end.
03:06I think this movie touches into like so many fears, like the idea that you think, you know, someone like
03:14the mask gets pulled off or you find out they were lying to you and like somebody your heart to,
03:19and they're just not who they said they were. It's not even who you thought they were. It's not who
03:23they said they were. That's a horrifying thing to live through. And so I think the movie just made me.
03:33I'm grateful that I'm grateful that I don't have that and hope that I don't have, you know, I think
03:40it's a, it's a real, it's a real thing that people can suddenly become somebody else and you don't recognize
03:46them anymore. Um, and it's that, like, I know people I've lived that reality and I've, I know people that
03:54have experienced that. In this case, it's like, you know,
03:57life threatening, but, but I do think it's, it's a constant fear when you're vulnerable with somebody or you give
04:04your heart to someone in whatever capacity that they could just break it or drop it or on a dime
04:11turn into somebody else.
04:13I think a lot of the problems in this film could have been solved by a little bit more open
04:16communication.
04:17Yes, I agree.
04:18A conversation would have been nice.
04:20I mean, that's all I'm going to say.
04:21Yeah, I agree.
